BACHELOR OF ARCHITECTURE THESIS PROJECT The aftermath of a post-industrial landscape slowly decays into latent workers, unused infrastructure, and neighborhood violence. Similar to other post-industrial cities such as Detroit and Pittsburgh, South Chicago once thrived in steel production. Through time, the economic and ecologic fluctuations suffer from an inefficient system. Eventually, the fluctuations cause a decrease of employment opportunities, increase in crime rates, and elimination of natural resources. This thesis investigate and promote a closed-loop networked system powered by economic, ecologic, and energy drivers to intervene existing infrastructure. Through the interventions, a set of three drivers may exist in the form of stations or follies. A thorough research on closed-loop and networked societies assist in designing each station to fit within site context. By proposing a transition to a closed-loop networked system, self-reliant growth would encourage less dependency in the economic market. A set of three driver stations aim to combat various issues within the targeted neighborhood. While the station’s primary function focus on either economic, ecologic, or energy, combinations may occur as well as a unifying secondary program. Additionally, security and culture are programmatic design quantities to assist in crime reduction. Business incubator workspaces, day care centers, observation decks, performance theaters, or community centers are a few suggestive programs to infill existing infrastructure. Additionally, the incorporation of a unifying secondary program such as water or air purification provides a physical link between each driver station or the link between
sets of driver stations. Furthermore, the purification process would promote a life-sustaining necessity and healthy living conditions for its users. Next, the identification process of existing infrastructure will start a template for expansion. Income, employment, family-size and other data mappings will assist and prioritize location of drivers for intervention. Locations of existing infrastructure such as water towers and silos would take priority over existing buildings. Abandon warehouses, rooftops, or alleyways may serve as future or secondary locations. The process outcome would create a parametric set of ideal infrastructure, location, and appropriate programming for expansion implementations. The conclusion of this thesis will aim toward design iterations of at least three complete stations with templates for future designs. By focusing on Economic, ecologic, and energy drivers for intervention, South Chicago’s revitalization begins with a new closed-loop networked system.

Lastly, the phases are currently separated by larger INTERSTATE infrastructure such as railroads and highway. The Calumet River and public parks also divide South Chicago. Within those borders, the addition of driver stations would address safety issues as the stations become easier to identify and locate.
PROPOSED LOCATIONS After examination of data collected, the first phase takes place adjacent to future SOM development of the Lakeside neighborhood. The area once thrived in the midst of steel mills and railroad manufacturing. The first set of locations consist of existing infrastructure and within the outer perimeter of public amenities. Therefore, the radial approach would create a safety boundary. Additionally, future set of three drivers can expand and attach to the initial set or begin organically. The development of each set adjusts to the available local resources, which will require individual site assessment for suitable intervention.

The inefficient water tower throughout the city makes an intervention necessary to reuse these infrastructure. The existing network of water towers provide starting grounds to convert them into power stations that generate solar power for the neighborhood. The solar concentrators operate with the existing water tower structure, while additional structure makes the tower inhabitable. A small neighborhood theater and classroom within the enclosed space will enable safe zones. By providing such observational spaces, the water tower acts as a symbol for refuge and power. The intervention represents an option that can apply to any water tower. Individual cases would use similar concepts, while adapting the programming to neighborhood needs.

Serving as an educational center, the Ecologic station symbolizes a cleansing process, in which education and ecology renews the neighborhood. While the station operates as a children’s center and safe zone, the station provides energy from the bio-energy source below the main structure. The algae farm created from an existing unused swimming pool, provides bio-energy through a process of filtration. The program and functional cleansing process symbolizes the existing neighborhood environment through a vertical purification theory. Additionally, the structure is composed of locally recycled auto metal sheets and surplus pipes.

The Luxury Adult Nightclub Hotel challenges the social condition within the urban built fabric. The design address various user desires by offering choices of circulation path, entry points, hotel room layout options, and privacy to design their personal experience through the building. Located in the Red Light District of Mong Kok, Hong Kong, an iconic building is necessary to self promote it’s program without replicating existing conditions of street signages. To evoke a sensual gesture, the building skin creates reveal and conceal conditions. To challenge current social conditions, the adult programs are located at the apex mass for easy identification of the building’s function. Lastly, red glass structural escalators wraps throughout the building for people viewing and a unique circulation experience. The overall design is an elevated sensual and bodily experience that teases the existing urban fabric and social conditions.

The LOOP functions as a situational typology to create new public spaces within a larger environment. The object becomes interactive and an intervention towards existing conditions to celebrate a spatial moment. Users are encouraged to individualize or share their separate spaces in the form of a bench or table. The construction of the LOOP utilizes a wood veneer lamination process to distribute weight among the “arms.� Acting in a closed loop, the structural integrity lies within the strength and lamination of the hardwood.

A quarter of a million zip ties altered a gallery into a bristled vortex of swirling, cavernous zip tie fabric magnified through reflective cellophane and augmented by subtle changing color. ZIP expresses the story of collaborative effort through research, acquisition, design, and construction of an environment designed as haptic reading room. Designed as an experience to exhibit thesis books, Professor Karen Lange’s fifth year studio (Studio400) at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, was assigned a collaborative installation project to showcase their previous personal research and transition into the design phase of their individual thesis projects. Nineteen individuals worked tirelessly through the zipping, snipping, and stitching of the zip ties together composing an intricate three-‐dimensional fabric that could be swirled onto itself to create multiple experiences within a small storefront space. Entry portal, tubular book receptacles, undulating ceiling and walls, and vortex initiate a reading room, book storage, and entry foyer. STUDIO400 each produced a book of design research, which related specifically to his or her developing project. The installation was constructed primarily of cable ties, looped and tied together, to create a fabric. The fabric was then tailored into an undulating surface that wrapped and curled into a cavernous room, displaying the thesis books. The zip tie fabric unraveled to lure and signal visitors towards the entrance of the gallery where they are squeezed through the articulate portal before entering the reading room. The installation’s central vortex expanse defined reading space with varying levels of seating. The installation intended to transport visitors from the mundane concrete reality of the building to a finely detailed space housing hand crafted books in an environment of subtle yet plastic enclosure.
